Description of problem: sane-backends will contain HAL policy which sets ACLs on scanner devices. Currently udev contains rules which change ownership of SCSI scanner generic devices to root.disk which seems superfluous to me. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udev-118-1.fc8 How reproducible: Reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attach SCSI scanner to system, switch it on 2. 'echo "scsi add-single-device ...." > /proc/scsi/scsi Actual results: root@wombat:~> ls -l /dev/sg3 crw-rw----+ 1 root disk 21, 3 2008-02-13 10:25 /dev/sg3 Expected results: root@wombat:~> ls -l /dev/sg3 crw-rw----+ 1 root root 21, 3 2008-02-13 10:25 /dev/sg3 Additional info: The rules in question are: 40-redhat.rules:8:ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sg[0-9]*", BUS=="scsi", ATTRS{type}=="[36]", SYMLINK+="scanner scanner-%k", MODE="0660" 50-udev-default.rules:70:KERNEL=="sg[0-9]*", GROUP="disk", MODE="0640" Perhaps the rules should be structured so the latter one (in 50-udev-default.rules) takes effect only for non-scanner devices.
yep
